Explain the role of God as a judge(25 marks)- goodness of God
Christians believe God is the lawgiver and the judge of humanity. He sets these laws to protect us from otherwise damage and can therefore judge when we have trespassed. Christian belief is held that God will reward or punish us accordingly to his judgement of the individual.
Theologically, Christians believe in Jesus’ parable of the sheep and the goats-that God on the last day will separate the saints from the sinners according to his judgement. This serves the purpose of giving us an incentive to follow God- a loving direction in which he leads.
